Sikasil WS-290 FPS is a field-pigmentable ultra low modulus silicone in a White Base 1.5 gallon pail for EIFS and curtain-wall joints. It holds +100% / -50% movement and reaches tack-free in approximately 50 minutes at 77 F.
Sikasil WS-290 FPS is a field-pigmentable, one-component plus color pack, non-sag, ultra low modulus, neutral-cure silicone that meets ASTM C920 Type S, Grade NS, Class 100/50 for EIFS, curtain-wall, and nonstructural glazing weatherseals. This White Base 1.5 gallon pail (part 412148) holds +100% / -50% movement, reaches Shore A 12 with approximately 165 psi tensile and 1,000% elongation, and is tack-free in approximately 50 minutes at 77 F. Color packs are sold separately; the cured bead is non-staining on most porous substrates.
